Most places make you bring your own carpet and rope for this sort of thing.

I arranged a weekend away for our local car club a few years ago and stayed near Crickhowell in the Brecon Beacons, it was a lovely remote-ish location and cottage. The owner's sister came to welcome us and she had made us some welsh cakes, they were yummy! - here's a couple of pics:

I booked that through Breacon Cottages although it may be too big for you. But here are a few links to other websites that I trawled through:

At first I was confused about the pub, then I remembered how thirsty you're going to get digging hehe.

We go to the Welsh coast every year with this company, and not had a bad cottage (they do cottages in the hills too, but we prefer the beaches):-

Check out the National Trust cottages. They have some amazing ones in north Wales which may well suit you. I stayed in a tiny one in a row of three with the old fire/range in the front room heating the whole place and when you went upstairs you could hear the fir while laying in bed. Oh, and it was stayed in by Sir Edmund Hilary on an Everset expedition reunion too.
